I'm writing Go again (for what, you'll see later...). `go doc` and `gopls` are like agent superpowers and its shocking how productive agents are out of the box at writing [good] Go code versus other languages I've used (including the JS ecosystem). Also, Go + Zig is a good mix.

Go for the higher level and concurrent stuff and then no-libc Zig code plus the Zig compiler for zero dependency cross-compiled cgo with high-performance characteristics (minimize cgo boundary crosses). Chefs kiss.

Its funny because a lot of the shitty ergonomics of Go CLIs like `go doc` and `gopls` (prev. stuff like `go oracle` or `guru`) are totally obviated by agents and not just that but in a twist of irony they're excellent for agents.

Don't worry, its not Ghostty. Ghostty and libghostty will remain pure Zig; it's a fantastic fit and a perfect pairing. This is for something else.

"Wait, I thought you said Go has no place anymore?" I was wrong, mostly because agents are so productive at Go. I won't bring in other languages in this discussion because I don't want to feed the crabs, so to speak. lol.

Our @golang load balancer at @render handles more than 150 billion HTTP requests a month across millions of services.

The number of times we've wanted to rewrite it in Rust: zero.

Go is the most underrated language in infrastructure. "Boring" is the ultimate feature.

I'll be kind of honest, it sorta sucks that everyone can barf code now. I'll get used to it, but it was nice to have a skill people couldn't easily reproduce in the worst way possible. I'm sure I have something valuable to offer, but code isn't it anymore.

@adamdotdev Welcome to the world of spec driven development / prompt engineering , I compare it to having an argument with the wife - your tweet is where I am at present but I’m finding my passion finding flaws in the code which is produced from AI

@hamptonism Prompt engineering jobs replacing software engineering jobs ?

[Mark Fieldhouse @funkmanwildman]

@hamptonism AI been around year but catapulted into the limelight on 2021, in 2022 they said we would need software developer by 2025 and we are hiring more - it’s absolute bollocks pump stocks ! Is AI a gold co-pilot, I’d say so , does AI set you back sometime hours , I’d also say that
